Massive thanks to everyone who helped make this season possible:
Bill Rangi for all the work you put into the car and the motor swap.
Korey Crake for all the work you put in on race day.
Steph Weston for the late nights in the shed, being my number one supporter, and sorting the kids the whole way through.
Jesse & Ken Ireland for helping with the rebuild and repairs before the season started, doing 99.9% of the driving down south, and all the work you put into the South Island Series.
And a huge thank you to all our sponsors this season — you guys are awesome, and we hope to have you all back on board for the 26/27 season:

Despite two DNFs tonight, Dan managed to pedal his Vulcan saloon to third place on the podium for the Pit Stop Bruce Ellmers Memorial at Awapuni Speedway🏆
A massive thanks to the crew (Bill Rangi and Korey Crake) for providing a podium worthy car.
Congratulations to Ethan Cook for taking out the top spot and Jeremy Browne for coming 2nd.
Our season has now officially come to an end and what an awesome weekend to end the 2025/2026 speedway season
This season definitely would have not been possible without our sponsors and we can’t wait to see what we can achieve during the next season.
